Gives a nice sun kissed and subtle glow when matched with the right skin tone, 15 Nov. 2015

Review and testing by my wife whose feedback was used for this review.

The nice and compact container means it can be easily kept in a pocket or a handbag for use anywhere. Designed to provide a subtle suntanned look with the need for tanning, with a quick and easily applicable powder designed to give and overall sun kissed and slight silky shimmering helping to give a glowing complexion.

Firstly my skin tone is a medium brown and the effects applying this colour was less than noticeable than I would have liked, yes there was a noticeable silky glow , however the tanning effect ended up being less noticeable and slightly unnatural looking, forming a slightly greyer skin tone after applying. The colour needs to be carefully matched to skin tone of the person to gain its most desirable effects.

This is a great bronzer which gives a touch of colour and sparkle to the skin. This is the lighter shade, which is very subtle if applied lightly, but does give you the luxury of building up the colour with a few more layers of bronzer should you so wish.It is best applied with a large soft brush, tapping off the excess powder before then applying ( there are a million tutorial videos on line showing how to use this)This particular powder has a slight shimmer to it- now it won't make you look like a Christmas decoration, but it will give your skin a slight luminosity and in the right light a slight sparkle, which is very pretty.It lasts well on the skin and comes off easily with a make up wipe or cleansing routine.The case is a good strong one that can withstand the knocks of a make up bag without cracking and it won't take up[ all the room in there either.

Sunshimmer Compact Powder - Medium Matte, 25 Nov. 2015

This Sun Shimmer Bronzing Compact Powder is Medium Matte. You need a bronzer brush and can just apply the powder to give your face some natural looking colour. This is small enough to take in your handbag and is surprisingly easy to apply for a natural finish.My skin is very pale and I did worry that Medium might be too dark, but used this sparingly and had surprisingly good results. I was very impressed with this and used it rather like a blusher, just coating my skin very gently with a brush and found that my skin looked healthy, with a subtle colour that did not look fake or too obvious. You could play around with this and obviously darken the colour by using more, but I found just a small amount worked well for my pale complexion.
